Pretty much.

They are not bothering with this. It is not even in the patch notes for the current release. But it is something that is going to do a huge damage to non-official language communities. Which is a dumb move by CCP that alienates a big part of the player base just because they don't want to bother with a better solution.

If we could live during 11 years with those channels why is such a huge issue right now?

You'd have to continuosly post that information in the channels, especially the ones less populated, as there are still no MOTDs pointing here. The unsupported language's channels lack any kind of motd, anyway.
I start to see at least one member within all language channels, though. That wasn't the case before if I remember correctly.

This has to be the worst idea I've seen from CCP. Spanish chat is where I found my first corporation. I would not have stayed in this game if it wasn't for the Spanish channel. Say goodbye to a lot of future subscriptions because of this desicion.

Enjoy my first -1 ever.

this seems like a terrible direction for a game struggling to attract and secure new players.

This is a really bad solution to the problem.

it will hurt us all, because it will reduce the number of new players, and EVE needs them.

The learning curve is difficult for many new players even if they have support in their native language, also for those who have language barrier becomes an automatic quit.

Those language channels become an option that gives them guide and motivation to keep going in this game and turn into income for CCP.

If CCP keeps going with bad solutions, maybe the next one could be shutting EVE down, so you dont have to answer tickets at all.

Lost track of the amount of welcome bounties I've put on the heads of dutch newbies and the amount of ships and ISK I gave away to the same newbies that needed some extra help. Usually it's the same old people chatting but the dutch chat channel gate a regular stream of newbies asking for help and direction we're more than willing to give to those who are willing to learn. Removing official languag channels is going to remove a way of easily finding eve players in your country and promoting an unofficial channel is an unnecessary hasstle. I think it's a bad idea.

CCP has an itchy foot.
Instead of scratching the itch, they decide to amputate the entire leg.


CCP, there are many of us who thoroughly enjoy having a chat in our respective native language, please don't take it away from us.

Thats probably the worst move you ever did CCP.

I started to think you are really serious about improving the game due to all these nice changes and imporvements in the last months.

But removin the language help channels will cause nothing but decrease the number of non native english subscription.

Doing this while trieing to attract more french people with a french client seems totally mental to me.

I personally would not have survived my first months without some native language support. (guess what. I may be speaking english quite ok, but i was deffenitley not into those rather difficult space/techical language often used)

The last wrong decission of this reach columinated in people shooting the jita monument.

But since it does not affect the majority of the eve players but only the minority, probably the scream will be much quieter than last time.

Eventhough dont forget that CCP: That minority of players keeps EVE alive. You will certainly do what we would call "sich ins eigene Knie schießen" in german: You will blow a bullet into your own feet.

Not good CCP, deffenitly Not good

I invite you all to join us at the Jita monument. Currently there are at least some people from Deutschechat and Suomikannu there. Fight the good fight.

BTW: Just realized what a great **** YOU sign that word "consolidation" used in the thread title is. Nice.

CCPlease no!

Don't close the channels, take appropriate actions against those who make a mess regardless of the fact the channel is official or not.

Yeah ... german channel is mostly like hell .. especially for newbies. But hey, EVE is cruicial, isn't it, CCP? That's what YOU wanted EVE had to be. I have to admit ... it could still be fun. Even for the trolls ... mostly they redirect the "unloved" noobs to help channel.

Sorry, I don't get it. You do this because of some morons in that channels? You have banned users for less ... I just read a blog on the internet. Punishing every "foreign" language is not the way to handle this IMHO.

Let's think about the consequences .... some players will open the old language channels and most of the new players will think "Hey cool ... a channel in my language." If the get scammed or something else, then they will yell for support. And what will happen? "No official channel ... sorry, not our problem." Are you really sure? Please reconsider.
